Nu stärker Logicenters portföljen på den finska marknaden. I Kerava, strax utanför Helsingfors, ska Logicenters nu utveckla en logistikanläggning på totalt 18 300 m2. Ett tioårigt hyresavtal har tecknats med hyresgästen Dachser som hyr en yta på cirka 4 600 m2. Fastigheten beräknas stå färdig under 2020.
Som ledande utvecklare, ägare och förvaltare av logistikanläggningar i Norden utvecklar Logicenters nu en fastighet i finska Kerava. Den 18 300 m2 stora fastigheten ligger i Kerca logistikområde, strax utanför Helsingfors, och beräknas stå färdig under Q3 2020. Byggföretaget Lehto Tilat Oy ansvarar för uppförandet av fastigheten. Ett tioårigt hyresavtal är tecknat med logistikaktören Dachser avseende en 4 600 m2 stor yta som består av 4 000 m2 cross dock-område och 600 m2 kontorsområde.
Logicenters nya anläggning är belägen på en strategiskt viktig plats i Helsingforsregionen, med närhet till internationell flygplats och motorvägen E75. Närheten till tågstationen Savio möjliggör dessutom goda pendlingsmöjligheter till Helsingfors. I linje med Logicenters ambition att energieffektivisera sina fastigheter, kommer logistikanläggningen att utrustas med solceller på taket samt använda sig av geotermisk värme.
”Det gläder oss att utvecklingen i Kerava är igång. Området är attraktivt på grund av sitt strategiska läge, goda kommunikationer samt konkurrenskraftiga hyresnivåer. Därför är det glädjande att kommunen satsar på logistik. Vi har sedan tidigare en mycket god relation till Dachser, vilket gör det extra roligt att få att påbörja den här utvecklingen tillsammans med dem,” säger Jarkko Äikää, Commercial Director på Logicenters i Finland.
”Den moderna terminalen i Kerava, liksom närheten till hamnen i Vuosaari och järnvägen, erbjuder en utmärkt logistiskplats för Dachser, både idag och i framtiden. Dessutom kan vi tillhandahålla en mängd tjänster för finska export- och importföretag på den inhemska marknaden. Det flexibla samarbetet med Logicenters och staden Kerava gör det möjligt för oss att fortsätta vår tillväxtresa, som började för vår vägtransportsverksamhet 2014 i Finland,” säger Tuomas Leimio, Managing Director, European Logistics Finland, DACHSER Finland Oy.
”Keravas strategi innefattar ett starkt engagemang att hjälpa företag att växa och frodas i området. Logistik är en av de viktigaste branscherna i vår moderna ekonomi. Den nya logistikanläggningen kommer att utveckla Keravas logistik-zon och öka Keravas attraktivitet som helhet för företag. Anläggningen kommer även att skapa dussintals nya jobb, vilket är helt fantastiskt,” säger Kirsi Rontu, borgmästare i Kerava.
Den nya logistikanläggningen har för närvarande cirka 13 000 m2 ledigt för framtida hyresgäster som vill etablera sig i ett av de bästa logistikområdena i Helsingfors storstadsområde. Anläggningen har redan väckt intresse bland ett flertal verksamheter
i branschen.
Logicenters har i samarbete med ÅF-Infrastructure genomfört en energibesiktning på 13 av Logicenters fastigheter. Energibesiktningen visar att logistikanläggningarna kan spara in på hela 30 procent av den totala energiförbrukningen. De flesta åtgärderna visar sig dessutom innebära relativt små investeringar.
I vintras inledde ÅF-Infrastructure, på uppdrag av Logicenters, ett projekt för att hjälpa Logicenters hyresgäster att energieffektivisera i fastigheterna och därmed minska sin klimatpåverkan. Totalt har 13 av Logicenters logistikanläggningar genomgått energiöversynen och resultatet visar på en stor besparingspotential. Genom att effektivisera energiförbrukningen i fastigheterna är det möjligt att sänka energikostnaderna med en tredjedel. Totalt innebär det besparingar på en halv miljon kronor årligen – för varje fastighet.
”Vår energiöversyn visar att många eldar för kråkorna. Resultatet visar på högre besparingspotential än vi trodde, särskilt med tanke på att de fastigheter som genomgick besiktningen är moderna anläggningar. Samarbetet med ÅF är ett viktigt steg för Logicenters i syfte att energieffektivisera våra fastigheter och minska vårt klimatavtryck”, säger Matthias Kettelhoit, Head of Logicenters.
Energieffektiviserande åtgärder i de 13 anläggningarna kan totalt minska CO2-utsläppen med över 1 000 ton per år. För fastigheterna som genomgick energiöversynen skulle de föreslagna åtgärderna för att spara in 30 procent innebära en återbetalningstid på 7,5 år. Vid införande av mindre åtgärder, som i huvudsak inte innebär någon monetär investering,
är besparingspotentialen ändå 6 procent.
”Energieffektivisering kan verka kostsamt, men genom detta projekt vill vi visa att det inte behöver kosta en förmögenhet att sänka sina kostnader. Det kan handla om att utbilda personalen i effektiv hantering av maskiner eller att införa tidsinställd belysning i lokalerna. Vissa investeringar har en längre återbetalningstid än andra, men i längden vinner både plånbok och miljö på att smarta, energieffektiva åtgärder införs”, säger Björn Rinde, energikonsult på ÅF-Infrastructure.
Nu fortsätter arbetet med att energibesikta fler anläggningar i Logicenters fastighetsportfölj. Totalt beräknas fastigheterna kunna minska sina CO2-utsläpp med hela 6 400 ton om året genom energieffektiviserande åtgärder.

Nu har Logicenters och Axfoods inköps- och logistikbolag Dagab signerat ett avtal avseende utveckling och uthyrning av en logistikanläggning på drygt 100 000 kvm i Bålsta. Dagab blir långsiktig hyresgäst i anläggningen som blir en av Europas största. Fastigheten blir miljöcertifierad, 30 meter hög och får moderna specifikationer så som högautomatisering och flera temperaturzoner.
I mars 2019 tecknade Logicenters en avsiktsförklaring med Dagab, Axfoods inköps- och logistikbolag, avseende utveckling och uthyrning av en logistikanläggning i Bålsta. Nu har parterna signerat avtalet som utöver utvecklingen innebär det för Logicenters enskilt största hyreskontraktet i Sverige.
”Det är ett otroligt utvecklingsprojekt där Logicenters utökar fastighetsportföljen med en stor, modern och miljöcertifierad anläggning utöver det vanliga. Vi är stolta över förtroendet från Axfood och utvecklar en fastighet i ett toppläge för att de ska kunna utöka sin verksamhet. Vi har ett gott samarbetet med Dagab och ser fram emot en fortsatt givande och långsiktig relation”, säger Matthias Kettelhoit, Commercial Head på Logicenters.
Logistikanläggningen blir med sina drygt 100 000 kvm en av Europas största och mest moderna för distribution av livsmedel till såväl butik som e-handel. Fastigheten får en unik höjd på 30 meter och ska rymma kylt-, fryst och tempererat laget med högautomatisering. I linje med Logicenters strategi kring hållbarhet och energieffektivisering får anläggningen en hög miljöcertifiering och dessutom planeras en solcellsanläggning på taket.
Fastigheten placeras strategiskt på adressen Håbo Lundby 2:8 strax utanför Bålsta, nordväst om Stockholm. Med närhet till E18 och Stockholm är det ett attraktivt läge. Dessutom går stickspår från järnväg hela vägen in på markområdet, vilken kan underlätta infrastrukturen för transporter framöver. Logistikanläggningen ska vara i drift 2023 och kommer även innebära många arbetstillfällen.
”Vi är mycket glada över att nu vara ett steg närmare starten av byggnationen av vårt högautomatiserade logistikcenter. Med den nya logistiklösningen kommer vi att bli både effektivare och mer flexibla i att möta utvecklingen inom dagligvaruhandeln. Genom att vi i den nya anläggningen kan lagerhålla ett ökat sortiment, leverera snabbare och mer hållbart, stärker vi vårt kunderbjudande”, säger Nicholas Pettersson, vd för Dagab.

Nordic real estate investment company NREP and Logicenters will build the world’s first deep geothermal well with seasonal storage capability in Espoo in cooperation with the energy industry start-up QHeat. The project pilots a new, nearly emission-free energy solution for large real estate, producing as much as 40 times the heat energy of traditional geothermal heating.
The deep geothermal well developed by QHeat is a medium-depth geothermal well drilled to the depth of approximately two kilometres and can heat and cool large real estate areas or regional grids with near-zero emissions. The solution enables emission-free geothermal heating in growing urban areas, as well, as it is well suited to dense housing areas and groundwater areas. The pilot is carried out at the NREP Logicenters’ logistics property in Espoo, and it is estimated to reduce the property’s CO2 emissions by as much as 90 per cent. The project is set to be completed by the end of November.
“By piloting new solutions, such as QHeat’s deep geothermal heat, and by scaling them into wider operating models, we are actively introducing new ways to reduce the environmental impacts of real estate in the industry. We are also continuously exploring possibilities to improve energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable energy in our properties. We are committed to reducing the climate emissions of real estate and to promoting energy efficiency, because real estate and construction produce approximately a third of Finland’s carbon footprint,” says Jani Nokkanen, partner at NREP.
Finland’s goal is to reduce emissions by at least 39 per cent from the 2005 level by the year 2030. With deep geothermal heat, emissions from real estate heating can be reduced by as much as 95 per cent compared to fossil fuels. If solutions such as deep geothermal heat can be scaled to even 5 per cent of Finland’s real estate stock, it would mean a reduction of half a million metric tonnes of CO2 emissions per year, or four per cent of Finland’s emission target, according to QHeat’s calculations.
“A clean future lies beneath our feet. With deep geothermal heat, we can make good use of the warm summer months, because during the summer, we can store waste energy from cooling into the ground and then use it for heating in the winter. Deep geothermal energy has significant export potential as a solution that can mitigate climate change by reducing the emissions from heating and cooling on a global scale,” says Miska Eriksson, CEO of QHeat.
Qheat’s deep geothermal heat technology is patented and has been tested in cooperation with Finnish experts and universities. The project has received funding from Business Finland as part of the Smart Otaniemi initiative.
This Monday marked the start of construction on the property that Logicenters is developing in Landskrona, Skåne. The modern logistics facility with solar cells on the roof is scheduled to be available to tenant Thomas Cook Travel Retail during 2020.
In February 2019, Logicenters announced that it is undertaking a development in Skåne for the first time. Ground has now been broken on the 24,000 m2 logistics facility at Kronan Logistics Park in Landskrona. In addition to the property’s modern specifications, solar cells will be installed on the roof, in line with Logicenters’ strategy on sustainability and energy efficiency.
Present at the groundbreaking ceremony was Eva Sterner, Head of Development at Logicenters and Torkild Strandberg, the mayor of Landskrona. Representing Thomas Cook Travel Retail were Magnus Persson, Warehouse Logistics Manager, Mikaela Andersson, Project Manager Warehouse and Lars Bording, Director of Airshoppen.
“I am pleased that Logicenters is establishing itself on the Skåne market with this modern new development. Landskrona is ideally positioned in an important logistics hub in the region. In addition, half of the property is still available for anyone looking for an outstanding logistics site in the Öresund region,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, Commercial Head at Logicenters.

“With a joint highly automated logistics centre – for all temperature zones – we will be both more efficient and more flexible in addressing the future development in the food retail industry. This will also strengthen our customer offering, as we will be able to keep an expanded assortment in stock and fulfil orders faster and more sustainably,” says Nicholas Pettersson, President of Dagab, Axfood’s purchasing and logistics company.
A facility in Landskrona marks the first step into the Skåne market for real estate provider Logicenters. A modern logistics facility featuring roof-top solar panels is to be constructed at the Kronan business park. The 24,000 m2 property is scheduled to be completed in 2020 and Thomas Cook Travel Retail will be the first tenant to move in.
As a market leader and developer of modern logistics facilities, Logicenters has a significant presence in logistics hubs in the Nordic region. The company is now establishing itself on the Skåne market via a new development on Företagsvägen in Kronan business park, an excellent logistics location in the Öresund region. The facility will be located in a very visible site along the E6 highway; companies such as Santa Maria and Oatly have been present in the business park for several years now.
“We are delighted to have found the right location for us in Skåne. Landskrona is investing heavily in logistics and we are positively inclined towards more projects here in the future. It is gratifying that Thomas Cook has chosen to work with us and we look forward to a long-term cooperation. For those who are looking for a good logistics site in the Öresund region, the other half of the property is still available,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, Commercial Head at Logicenters.
In addition to the facility’s modern specifications, solar panels will be installed on the roof, which is in line with Logicenters’ strategy on sustainability and energy efficiency. Construction begins immediately, and the facility is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2020. The tenant Thomas Cook Travel Retail will utilise 12,000 m2 of the property’s total of 24,000 m2, divided into 10,000 m2 of warehouse space, a 1,500 m2 mezzanine and 500 m2 of office space.
“Our new location at Kronan business park will enable us to increase capacity for our online shopping service Airshoppen, from which our travellerscan pre-order their duty-free goods. Logicenters is an obvious partner because they are able to meet our high logistics requirements, including that the property is as energy efficient and sustainable as possible,” says Magnus Persson, Warehouse Logistics Manager at Thomas Cook Travel Retail.
“We warmly welcome Thomas Cook to Landskrona. This once again demonstrates the strengths offered by Landskrona as a business location, with the city being attractive to various industries,” says Torkild Strandberg, Mayor of Landskrona.
CBRE has served as a consultant to Logicenters regarding the leasing of the 12,000 m2 area to Thomas Cook Travel Retail at Kronan business park.
Logicenters announces that it will develop a 14,872 m2 modern logistics property near Copenhagen in Denmark. With almost 12 metres to the roof, this modern cross-docking facility will enjoy added flexible specifications for future use. The property is scheduled to complete in 2020, at which point the tenant, Bring Danmark, will move in its operations.
A new 14,872 m2 modern logistics property will be completed by Logicenters in April 2020 at Ventrupparken 4 in Greve, a suburb to the Danish capital, Copenhagen. The majority of the building has already been leased to Bring Danmark. The facility will be particularly visible as it’s positioned adjacent to the busy E20 motorway leading in to Copenhagen and further in to Sweden.
Due to the added height of the building of almost 12 metres, it will be possible to do two-story sorting and a 2,000 m2 mezzanine level will be fitted in as offices. The facility is also being built with the long-term aim to be able to adapt to future logistics needs, for example by using it as a warehouse.
The facility will have a clear environmental profile and will be equipped with solar panels on the roof. Also, the safety of the employees is highly prioritised with the construction of a footbridge leading people from the car park to the mezzanine offices while avoiding any pedestrians passing the lorry terminals.
“We look forward to moving into the new and modern premises which have been adapted in line with both our environmental profile and our major investment in online shopping. The new logistics facility strengthens our position as one of the most important logistics companies in the Nordic region,” says Jens Rom, Managing Directorat Bring Danmark.
“We are incredibly proud to build a facility that reflects the logistics of the future in Greve. The solar panels, the footbridge and the facility’s height are just some of the characteristics of a very modern logistics facility. Logicenters strives to always be at the forefront of this type of property development and it is great that Bring is also part of this journey,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, Commercial Head at Logicenters.
